Mortgage Pfandbriefe

The DZ HYP Mortgage Pfandbriefe provide investors with a product that fulfils their need for security and transparency to a large extent. These unique quality standards in the covered bond universe are governed by the German Pfandbrief Act (Pfandbriefgesetz – PfandBG), which substantially strengthens the position of Pfandbrief holders. In addition, DZ HYP's Mortgage Pfandbriefe are rated AAA by S&P and Aaa by Moody's. Private as well as commercial real estate loans are used as cover assets for DZ HYP's Mortgage Pfandbriefe. In addition to transparency disclosures under section 28 of the PfandBG, you will receive further details concerning the mortgage cover pool.

DZ HYP's Public Pfandbriefe are rated AAA and Aaa by S&P and Moody's, respectively. These issues are collateralised by public-sector loans, or loans and advances accorded a similar status in accordance with section 20 of the PfandBG.
